West Wind have published a concept sketch of one of the figures who could be entering the Empire of the Dead with the help of crowd funding. Right from the pages of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, we find Lord Godalming.

Fiancée of Lucy Westenra, Dracula’s first victim upon coming to England, Lord Godalming joined with Van Helsing in ending Lucy’s new undead existence and in hunting the Count to his home in Transylvania.

His inclusion suggests we might be able to build a Gentlemen’s Club faction around Van Helsing’s group of vampire hunters and also makes me hopeful that we could see more figures from Victorian gothic literature appearing.
